I only feel excited if I'm expecting a small parcel, something ordered on line. Twitter with pics is ok and time stamped too. It travels much faster too. but it doesn't do parcels.Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-56310739843697643892011-05-14T15:13:44.492+01:002011-05-14T15:13:44.492+01:00I love your Twitter for Gentlefolk idea!

I believe Chairman Bill that the building in question is the Chateau Laurier, I had high tea there with my step daughter a couple of visits ago, looks as magestic as the Parliament building though.
